Remote Call
Forward
The Remote Call Forward feature allows you to configure the forwarding
options of a phone from another phone in the network. This is useful if,
for example, a person A is on vacation and all of person A’s calls must be
forwarded to person B. This feature enables person B to configure Call
Forward Universal on the source phone (person A). Note that person A
can be at one site and person B can be at a different site.
The VCX administrator must authorize use of the Remote Call Forward
feature. For example, if the administrator authorizes you to change
person A’s forwarding options, you can enter a feature code (468) and
redirect person A’s calls to any other extension, including your own.
When successfully configured, the remote (destination) phone’s LED (if
available) will flash for all forwarded calls, and the LCD will also display a
call forward message.
To remotely enable a phone to forward calls to another extension:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Press Feature + 468 .
The Display Panel prompts you to enter the remote phone number.
3 Enter the extension of the phone whose calls you want to forward and
press
# .
The Display Panel prompts you to enter the extension of the phone that
will receive the forwarded calls.
4 Enter the extension of the phone that will receive forwarded calls and
press
# .
Alternatively, you can combine steps 2, 3, and 4 by entering the following
command:
*468*<source extension>*<destination extension>
Remote call forwarding can be disabled either on the phone that set up
remote call forwarding or on the extension whose calls you no longer
want to remotely forward.
